Craig's deal has options for the actor to return for both sequels -- no small feat considering how busy he is these days. The performer who is best known for taking over the role of James Bond, could have a fledgling franchise in this series, and if the Comic-Con buzz is any indication, could have a third series in the works with Cowboys and Aliens. Trying to figure out the logistics of all these shooting schedules -- particularly if the next Bond film ever gets off the ground -- could be a real challenge.

I do like the casting of Craig in this part -- his Blomkvist should be similar to the one in the novel, which I just finished. Casting Salander is the more crucial, and difficult choice. Any of these ladies strike your fancy or would you prefer someone else?
